Connecting with others is essential for overall wellbeing from "summary" of Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Emil Frankl
In the midst of suffering and despair, one thing became clear to me: the importance of connecting with others. Through sharing our pain and our joys with fellow human beings, we are able to find solace and meaning in the midst of chaos. This connection with others is essential for our overall wellbeing, as it provides us with a sense of belonging and purpose in a world that can often seem cruel and indifferent. When we are able to connect with others on a deep and meaningful level, we are able to transcend our own suffering and find hope in the midst of despair. This connection serves as a source of strength and resilience, enabling us to endure even the most difficult of circumstances. Without this connection with others, we are left feeling isolated and alone, struggling to find meaning in a world that seems devoid of purpose. In my own experience, I found that the bonds I formed with my fellow prisoners were what sustained me through the darkest days of my captivity. Through sharing our stories and our struggles, we were able to find a sense of solidarity and camaraderie that helped us to endure the unimaginable horrors of the concentration camp. It was in these moments of connection that I discovered the true power of human relationships, and the importance of reaching out to others in times of need. In today's fast-paced and often isolating world, it can be easy to overlook the importance of connecting with others. We are bombarded with distractions and obligations that pull us away from the fundamental human need for connection and community. However, it is only through reaching out to others and forming deep and meaningful relationships that we are able to truly thrive and find fulfillment in our lives. By making an effort to connect with others on a genuine and authentic level, we can cultivate a sense of belonging and purpose that will sustain us through even the most difficult of times.
